Cool. I didn't know there were two versions for any player.

Thanks gents!

Ya know, I'm not sure why Frank and a few other fellas have 2 cards in the set; even more odd, they both represent the same game. I could see it if Frank had had 3 homers that day, but he had only one. I don't know, but I'm glad to have them both in the collection.

I hit the BIN immediately on the only Bagwell I'd ever seen. It was like $49.95. I didn't even blink...just glad to knock it out!

I haven't posted in a while but looking through the PC and thought this was pretty sweet...

Knocked anothe "Most Wanted" off...

Paid more for this than the Ripken / Gwynn Dual from the same set! I sold an extra 93 Finest Ref, so I consider this a "trade"...

What's the print run on that? Seems a little odd you'd have to part with a 93 finest refractor to secure the funds...

It wasn't exact but it was close. However, this card has been hard to track down, and I feel that I was blown out of the ware each time it came up. The "patience" thing sometimes goes out the window when you have some $$ in Paypal!!

Fair enough. Glad you had something to help acquire it.

Yep, kinda weird. Pretty high serial numbering (135) for a Premiere Date too. Got the rainbow? Purple #/10 are tough!

Hmmm...I need to find the others. I have them checked off but can't locate them. Here's the purple for now (I'll edit the others in):

Discovered this little gem in a 25K card lot I bought last month, stuck in with a bunch of 2000 MVP base cards. Scratch one very tough card off the list!
